I’m looking to make biscuits and gravy just like I have at home. I moved here from America about 2 years ago and am yet to find this “breakfast sausage” that we have there. Does anyone know anything similar or the name for it here???
what’s different between a normal sausage and whatever a “breakfast sausage” is?
“Breakfast sausage” isn’t really a thing here. I think for the kinds of sausage you’re looking for, maybe some of the bigger Prisma/Citymarkets might stock British sausages – at least S-Market used to have a deal with Tesco and you could (if lucky) find a UK brand on the shelves.
Sausages tend to be very local in nature and term encompasses a massive array of cuisines.
One place you could try is Hakaniemi Halli in Helsinki – there’s a couple of good butchers there. Even if they can’t help they’ll probably know somewhere (I used to but some excellent Chorizo sausages from there).
You’re looking for some type of “raakamakkara” aka raw sausage
We buy German sausages from Lidl to have with fry ups.
To most of you, who were very helpful, thank you so much.
I think you should try regular Finnish sausages(Wilhelmi, Kabanossi etc) and see if you like any of them. If you do like any of those, life would be a lot easier.
Try frying some *siskonmakkara* on the pan. It’s a raw sausage. Mildly spiced, but tasty.
Honestly feel you I hate finnish sausages and I am a finn.
If I were you I would give ryynimakkarat a go or find a local butcherer etc.
I have no idea what ryynimakkara is in english or is it only a finnish thing but I love them. Specially Kivikylän ryynimakkara.
The closest i have found is actually bratwurst. The Snellman one works great
Yeah, I think the hot dog flavour is because of the flour used in the sausages, it changes the consistancy to a smoother and more hot doggy taste. What you’ll be searching for raw sausage or ”raakamakkara”, there the consistency and flavour is more meaty. HK has some pretty good ones if you’re looking at bigger stores but local food halls have butchers that often can top those. Lidl also does a lot of nice sausages due to their German roots so might be worth checking out.
Yeah I have not yet found proper sausage in Finland.
You can get these in S-market and theyre pretty close to “british sausages” in terms of texture. They are quite strongly seasoned so a bit different in that way but still really tasty.

We don’t eat sausages for breakfast in Finland.
